If you realise how it relates to "placement new" then it does kinda make sense. But yeah, not exactly beginner friendly!

  Something like construct_back would've maybe been a little clearer. I imagine that would have it's own issues as well though.

    Or just `place_back`! Why do they have to be so whimsical?

      Maybe they're fans of why's guide to Ruby :) Though place_back still has the connotation of 'take this thing and put it over there' that emplace_back is actually the opposite of. Naming things really is hard.
